Meal Plan 25 has comfort food from start to finish. Slow cooker chicken noodle soup, beef tacos, creamy baked mac and cheese, and more all under $4 a serving with one grocery trip and one shopping list.
This is one my favorite meal plan weeks because every dinner is something my family gets excited about. With 8 kids, I also love choosing meals that stay within budget and give us leftovers for easy lunches or another quick meal later in the week.
These Weekly Meal Plans are saving our readers time and money. If you have missed any our meals plan you can still grab, Meal Plan 24, Meal Plan 23 and Meal Plan 22.
